October:
Month of October 1st and 3rd Friday openings at participating galleries
Friday, October 3 Visions West Contemporary Opening reception, 6-8pm Beau Carey, Brightness Bound. Beau Carey is known for his immersive landscape paintings that reflect both physical encounters with remote environments and a deep questioning of how we perceive and represent space. In environments where traditional landscape conventions break down where there's no atmospheric perspective or stable point of reference, Carey challenges inherited ways of seeing. His compositions are built from memory and shaped by the concept of Notan, a design principle that balances dark and light. Beginning with cut-paper silhouettes drawn from remembered geographies, Carey distorts, mirrors, and reconfigures these fragments into patterns that reflect how we actually experience place: fractured by movement, time, distraction, and emotion. His paintings collapse multiple perspectives, horizons, and timelines into a single image. Forms appear as afterimages, shapes repeat and unravel, and spatial logic bends. The result is work that suggests continuity is an illusion and that our perception of the world is far more dynamic and unstable than traditional landscape painting allows. Through November 29		Visions West Contemporary Beau Carey Fire Kasina Oil on canvas, 72 x 64 inches Through November 29

Walker Fine Art is launching a new video series, Collector - Artist Dialogue, featuring a conversation between a collector and an artist who share personal thoughts and feelings about one piece of art.

Continuing:

In Finding Currents, a solo exhibition featuring Heather Patterson, movement becomes a language and each piece a vibrant exploration of nature's complexity. Inspired by shifting topographies of the natural world, Patterson's intricate, layered paintings reveal abstracted terrains, tracing the invisible rhythms that shape our landscapes.

In Topographies of Being, you are invited into a contemplative space where the organic realm becomes a mirror for self-discovery. The three artists in this exhibition navigate the environment and inner life, using photography and mixed media to explore how nature stirs memory, evokes emotion, and reflects the complexities of who we are.

Sam Scott and Dana Hart-Stone
Dana Hart - Stone:" I am captivated by the narratives of people who settled the Western United States. As a child in Eastern Montana, I wandered the history-rich countryside looking for abandoned homesteads. At each site, I found fascinating evidence of difficult lives eked out on the Northern Plains. Today, this same curiosity motivates me as I mine for stories found in vintage, vernacular, photography and create paintings that make visible universal themes about unknown Americans. Friendship, community, pride, patriotism, and home are some of the themes that reveal the vast topography of our shared human experience."

Sam Scott: "I continue to be focused on the fundamentals: Creating an experience holding a new beauty which reveals a balance between the physical and the spiritual. That a transition might take place." - Sam Scott Scott is known internationally for his monumental abstract oil paintings collected in the US and Europe. Sam has lived and worked in Santa Fe since 1969. His work has been the focus of local exhibitions at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, New Mexico Museum of Art, Sam Scott: An American Voice, 1967-1997, and the Center for Contemporary Arts, Messages from the Wounded Healers. His artwork was included in the 1 975 Whitney Biennial, and he has been recognized by the French government with awards and exhibitions for his work.
